What's different about buying a robot
Four checks before you shortlist a robot below.
Usually a 3D printing superintendent. That person can say in one line what the robot does, what it doesn't, and why it's on the job.
Repeat customers and published deployments matter. So does seeing it run on a site like yours, not in a vendor video.
Every robot has non-negotiable inputs and a window where it fits. When prep slips or sequencing isn't planned, the robot fails. Either the workflow change is real, or the robot isn't.
Every robot has trade-offs. The vendors worth your time walk you through the whole picture of where it wins and struggles.
